Burrata Brunch Recipe

Burrata French Toast with Balsamic Syrup

Cassy Vires
For best results, use day-old bread for this sweet-and-savory French toast. If you can’t find any, dry out fresh slices in a 300°F oven for 10 to 15 minutes. The balsamic syrup can also be made ahead—store it at room temperature for up to five days.

Ingredients
  

  • Balsamic Syrup:
  • ¼ cup balsamic vinegar
  • ¼ cup maple syrup

  • French Toast:
  • 6 large eggs
  • ¼ cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

  • FRENCH TOAST: Whisk together eggs, sugar, cinnamon, and salt in a large bowl until thoroughly combined. Add milk and whisk to combine.
